I'm not going to see Jurassic World because based on the trailer I can already guess exactly what's going to happen in the movie.

Ah sorry. RTS/adventure games are KBM as well, I just don't play those kinds of games. Outside of Crusader Kings / EU

I don't tend to buy anything on Steam unless there's a sale. :v: Though at this point I'm running out of stuff even then.
I'm probably wrong but I think all of the games I've purchased in the past maybe 2-3 years are either Falcom games, System Shock 2, Higurashi (a whole $6 when it first came out), and kickstarter games I'll never actually get around to playing. In other words besides dumb crap like Massive Chalice which I normally would never have bought everything else would be pretty drat cheap when they'd first come out, so no need to wait.

Jurassic World is a dumb movie with a lot of problems which I enjoy despite those problems, which is to say it's the first real sequel to JP.

What's dumb about it. Why do people so often call big-budget action movies dumb in order to justify their own enjoyment (not necessarily directed at you).

I call them dumb because they're ugly and poorly made, and I don't like them.

They want to look cool and detached from it all, but if the smash hit megafranchise Persona 4 taught me anything it's that Chie is good you gotta be honest with yourself.

Well it's the JP thing where the only reason things go wrong is because multiple people do something idiotic. In JW the two things that jump out to me are: okay why was priority one after getting the island back from Hammond not pumping the Aviary full of the most poisonous poo poo possible, and also that they're justification for making a super dinosaur is that in 20 years, people have gotten bored of plain old REGULAR miracles of science and now need EXTRA murderous ones. There's other problems, like leaning too hard on character archetypes and setpieces from the first movie in places, but despite the flaws I did enjoy it.

Go see it assuming you haven't seen Anime of the Year Mad Max: Fury Road.

I don't care about how characters act in a big budget blockbuster, I only care about how good the effects are, and JW looks like every othe Marvel-style crap made in the last 10 years: like a bad video game.

If I were in charge of Jurrasic World, I'd take a leaf from Walt Disney World's book and add more than just one island of dinosaur safaris. What resorts do they offer? Are there golf courses? If interest is waning, maybe a few new rides would make more sense than a new dinosaur species. By The Lost World we saw that they had multiple islands under JP administration.

To the man who loves art for its own sake, it is frequently in its least important and lowliest manifestations that the keenest pleasure is to be derived.
Yeah logically you'd imagine that vampires actually adapted their way of speaking over time like y'know, everybody else when put into a new environment but good writing rarely matches up with logic. By that I mean, it's usually more important to get across "this dude is older than your grandpa" than to make a logically accurate character.
